Intervening When You Witness Disrespect
Respond as a bystander and as a manager.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Prepare to act when I see disrespectful behavior at work. The type of behavior: [BEHAVIOR_TYPE]. My role: [MY_ROLE]. The setting (meeting, chat, public space): [SETTING].
Provide options in order: interrupt with a calm redirect ("Let's go back to the point"), check on the targeted person afterwards (script 40 words), speak privately to the person who behaved badly (script 60 words), report through the formal route, and document what I saw (date, facts, witnesses). Add phrases to use in the moment and what to avoid (shaming, joking it off).
Explain when to escalate immediately (threats, discrimination, harassment, safety) and why a manager has a duty to act once they know [VERIFY in [JURISDICTION]]. Include a short debrief form for the manager.
Provide the in-the-moment phrases as a list of six, each under 15 words, and a short template to record what I saw (date, place, people, words used, my response) factually and without opinion, for the case where I decide to report.
